Ask him if he's brushing his wrist on the touchpad. Very common problem.

Hi there,

A friend has a new Toshiba Sat laptop which has Word 2003 installed and he
has this odd problem that sometimes when he is typing in Word unbeknown to
him his cursor jumps to a previous point in a paragraph and as he types he
is then typing in the wrong place this doesn't happen all the time just
occasionally but enough to be very annoying.

He has tried all the obvious things like checking if he is hitting a wrong
key but can't seem to pinpoint this strange behaviour to anything he is
doing.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Many thanks, Tim.
